The Cariboo

Our Staff Christmas Party is at the Cariboo this year, and i am looking forward to going. Normally, staff parties are not the easiest due to a limited diet and I usually end up eating before (or I get stuck with a chicken caesar salad). This year however, the manager was worried about meeting my dietary needs so asked that I come in and meet with her. She was friendly and helpful, and wanted to ensure that my food was not cross-contaminated (always an annoyance when people down-play this). We decided on a steak, baked potato and green salad, and I think she was surprised at how easy it was to accommodate someone with Celiac. I would love it if more restaurants just met with me to work out what gluten free eating at their restaurants looks like. Their are a ton of restaurants I would love to try in PG, but phone calls don't usually help, and it is a big commitment to go in and try to talk to a manager or cook unannounced. So good job to the Cariboo for their forethought, and I will let you know how the food was on the weekend!
